CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 107

A gaming console needs to allow for inbound connectivity on a home network to facilitate chat functions. Which of the following devices is a user MOST likely to configure to allow this?

Answer options

• A. Cable modem
• B. Wireless router
• C. Access point
• D. Network switch

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a wireless router manages inbound and outbound traffic and can facilitate chat functions for gaming consoles. The cable modem primarily connects to the internet, while an access point extends wireless coverage, and a network switch mainly connects multiple devices within a local network without handling inbound internet traffic.
